During his Thursday night Montana rally, President Donald Trump praised Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte for assaulting a reporter- even while we are in the midst of unanswered question about missing Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. "Any guy that can do a body slam, he's my kind of...he's my guy", Trump told the Missoula crowd.

The congressman later apologized for his actions and was sentenced to a 180-day deferred sentence, 40 hours of community service, 20 hours of anger management and a US$300 fine along with an $85 court fee.

Trump said he originally thought the assault - which took place on the eve of his election - might hurt Gianforte's chances.

President Donald Trump on Thursday heaped praise on a United States congressman from Montana who body-slammed a reporter during a campaign for a special election in 2017. "And he was way up ... and I said - this is like the day of the election - I said, oh this is bad, he's gonna lose the election...."

The confrontation occurred in May 2017, one day before Gianforte won a special election for Montana's sole seat in the House of Representatives. "Never", Trump said at a campaign rally in Montana. Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the reporter.
